<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://video.news.com.au/feed.atom');
foreach( $xml->entry as $entry ) 
{
echo "Link - {$entry->link->attributes()->href}<br>";
break;
}
?>

 

or possibly just

<?php
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://video.news.com.au/feed.atom');
echo "Link - {$xml->entry[0]->link->attributes()->href}<br>";
?>

If you want just the first entry's link, then the following is the SimpleXML way (putting the simple back in there).

 

$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://video.news.com.au/feed.atom');
echo $xml->entry->link['href'];
